I raised you in the dark

Caught you reading by the sunrise

You wandered from the path

Through the silence of the hillside

And don't you know I could see it in you even then?

And don't you know I was trying to hold back the darkness?

And are you really okay?

A letter from your former CO dredges up painful memories of the ambush that ended your career. You've withdrawn ever since, haunted by survivor’s guilt. Gaz tries to get you to talk, but you don't want him to see you as weak. When he finds you sobbing alone one night, he finally breaks down with you...

Revealing just how terrified he was of losing you, not to death, but to despair.

Ever thought about commissioning me for a bot? Well, here's your chance! I have a Ko-Fi set up just for that purpose! If the DMs on Ko-Fi aren't big enough for your OC request, then reach out to me on Discord @nora_giovanni!

If you comment talking about extreme violence or complaining about the LLM, or demanding a POV change, I will delete the comment and you will be blocked. I recommend using DeepSeek, though! I leave defs open on canon characters like this, and proxies are always enabled (however, if you see a character of mine -- ANY character -- Please let me know so I can fix it!)
